Graduated Tax Petition

We, the undersigned, oppose the Democrats' Graduated Income Tax proposal. Under current Illinois law, the individual income tax rate will be 3.75 percent in 2015. Under a new plan, however, a higher 4 percent rate kicks in for people earning just $18,000. That income tax rate targets Illinois’ working class.

Flat tax is not a good idea for the state o Illinois, making this state a more tax friendly state for new business as well as established businesses is the way we should move. You tax us to death and sooner or later we will all leave for greener pastures.

Illinois legislators wanting to implement a progressive, vs. a flat tax, need to stop treating this state’s citizens like cash cows to be milked at the whim of the governmental elite. Cut spending. Our so-called “leaders” in Springfield need to learn to live within their means, instead of fleecing the public at increasingly confiscatory rates. We stand with Representative Meier.

Fix the problem of over spending and DO something to make this state more attractive to businesses and leave the tax model alone.

I would also like to sign a petition against the gun registration proposed by the new Nazi Socialist congresswoman from Chicago.

Additional taxes just creates more spending. Common sense tells you to cut spending when you can’t afford to pay for what you owe now. You don’t put out a fire by giving it more fuel.
